There are a couple of things to remember about printing barcodes on receipts.
All printed barcodes have start and stop digits. These digits are not part of
the number but must be part of the printed barcode. Printing barcodes will not
work with out them.
The other major thing is that the barcode font you are using will need to be
added on every computer that you are printing them at. OR the receipt printer
cannot translate the barcode.
<br/><!-- this prints the barcode of the patron at the bottom of the receipt.-->
<div align="Center"; style= "font-family:
'CodabarMedium';">B{{patron.card.barcode}}D</div> <br/> .<br/>
In the example above I use the font: CodabarMedium, and you will notice the
“B” and “D” around the Patron’s barcode.

________________________________
Good morning,
Is anybody using scannable barcodes in receipts in the web client?
I had been using them in the past (XUL client) but after upgrading to the web
client, creating new receipt templates did not seem to work. Currently running
3.4.
There is interest in scannable barcodes to streamline contactless pick up
services.
Thanks!
Lindsay
